CNET - If you've noticed that things on your favorite big services feel a little different today, you're not imagining things. Facebook, Twitter, and Google have rolled out little changes to their main services.

Facebook added status details to its Mobile Messenger application. You can see if someone has read a message you've sent, if they're typing a reply, and what general region they are physically replying from (that one could be problematical). Apple iMessage and BlackBerry Messenger users are already accustomed to these features.

Twitter added a mouse-hover behavior to tweets on the Twitter.com site. Now when you hover over a tweet, interaction choices (Reply, Retweet, and Favorite) appear. They're not there otherwise, unless you click on the persistent "Expand" option that's on each tweet.         More
